Answer 1

Zend Forms are used to create HTML forms for example <input>, <select> & etc.

Zend Framework by default uses Views to render HTML. It’s plain PHP & HTML so link in zend framework can be created simply like that. <a href="performance-contract-add">here</a> placed in .phtml file. You can also make Smarty to work with Zend Framework

On other hand you may want to create custom decorators to make such link in Zend Form for example:

<?php
$foo = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('name');
$foo->setLabel('Name')
    ->setDescription('<a href="#">Link</a>')
    ->setDecorators(array(
        'ViewHelper',
        array('Description', array('escape' => false, 'tag' => false)),
        array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dd')),
        array('Label', array('tag' => 'dt')),
        'Errors',
      ));
$form->addElement($foo);

You simply need to add array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'a')) where you want in the stack.

And third option is to create a View Helper.
